The intestine is as important as the brain or the heart to our existence, yet we know very little about it.
Anders humorously defends this often-neglected organ. After taking us on a tour of the digestive system, the author presents the results of the latest studies conducted on the role that what she calls the "second brain" plays in our comfort. It invites us to change our eating habits and follow some practical rules in order to achieve healthy digestion.
